Comfortable third-floor one-bedroom retirement apartment in St. Marys Fields, offered chain-free and with 105 years remaining on the lease. The development provides practical, low-maintenance living for over-60s with a lift to all floors, communal lounge, laundry and well-kept gardens that encourage social life and outdoor time without garden upkeep.
Inside the flat the layout is efficient: a generous lounge/dining room, a long double bedroom, a compact but well-equipped kitchen, modern shower room and useful utility/store space. Bright, neutral decoration and double glazing make the accommodation ready to move into, especially suitable for downsizers or investors seeking a straightforward rental proposition in central Colchester.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the property is leasehold with an average ground rent of £395 and is part of a development in an area recorded as having higher crime levels — buyers should check building security and insurance arrangements. There is no private garden attached to the flat; outdoor space is communal only. Council tax is low (Band B), broadband and mobile signal are good, and there is no flood risk.
Overall this apartment suits someone seeking independent retirement living close to shops, cafes and cultural amenities, or an investor wanting a low-maintenance city-centre asset. The size is compact (approx. 455 sq ft) so viewings should confirm layout suitability for mobility and storage needs.
